Formula One: McLaren’s Oscar Piastri wins maiden Chinese Grand Prix title

Australian Oscar Piastri, who clinched maiden pole position on Saturday, continued the momentum from a great start in Sunday’s race

Teammate Lando Norris came in second, completed McLaren’s milestone 50th one-two victory. George Russell (Mercedes) took third

Last year’s Chinese Grand Prix winner Max Verstappen came fourth

Other than Verstappen (inset), Lewis Hamilton on his Ferrari also came short, finishing in sixth place.

Norris had to fight his way to second place, pass Russell and Alex Albon (Williams), and then trail his teammate Piastri

Four-time champion Verstappen has now a wider gap between him and his closest title rival this season, Norris

The Ferraris, despite Hamilton winning Saturday’s Sprint race, could not take the podium on Sunday

‘This is what I feel like I deserved from last week,’ said champ Piastri, who finished ninth in his home turf last week at the Australian Grand Prix
